Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Woodville, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woodville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
